Cybersecurity

Threat Intelligence

Evidence-based knowledge about existing or emerging threats to an organisation's digital assets and infrastructure.

Vulnerability Assessment

The process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritising security vulnerabilities in systems and applications.

Penetration Testing

A simulated cyberattack against a system to evaluate the security of its defences and identify exploitable vulnerabilities.

Red Team

A group of security professionals who simulate real-world attacks to test an organisation's defensive capabilities.

Blue Team

A group of security professionals who defend against both real attackers and simulated attacks from red teams.

Purple Team

A collaborative security approach combining red team attack knowledge with blue team defensive capabilities.

Intrusion Prevention System

A network security technology that examines network traffic to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits.

Ransomware

Malicious software that encrypts a victim's files and demands payment for the decryption key.

Malware

Malicious software designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to computer systems.

Phishing

A social engineering attack that uses fraudulent communications to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information.

Spear Phishing

A targeted phishing attack directed at specific individuals or organisations using personalised deceptive content.

Zero-Day Vulnerability

A software security flaw unknown to the vendor that can be exploited before a patch is available.

Security systems that leverage machine learning and behavioural analytics to identify sophisticated cyber threats, anomalous patterns, and zero-day attacks in real time.

An integrated security platform that protects cloud-native applications across the full lifecycle, combining workload protection, configuration management, and runtime security.

A set of voluntary guidelines for managing and reducing cybersecurity risk developed by the US National Institute of Standards.

Authentication methods such as FIDO2 passkeys and hardware security keys that are immune to phishing attacks because credentials are cryptographically bound to the legitimate service.

Using unique biological characteristics like fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns to verify identity.

The specific path, method, or scenario used by an attacker to gain unauthorised access to a system.

An entity that issues digital certificates, verifying the identity of organisations and encrypting communications.

A structured approach for identifying, quantifying, and addressing security threats to a system or application.
